12.00 – 12.35: Children play: Elephant from an Egg - in Turkish.
Dance theatre for Neurodiverse Children and Young People.
Dance, puppetry and live music are the essence of this dance theatre piece.
Four performers accompany an elephant as he continuously goes through new challenges. The percussion and the transverse flute, the rhythm of life and melodies, lead the young audience into a fantasy world where an elephant hatches from an egg and dreams can fly.
“Elephant from an Egg" is about growing up and dealing with change, showing the friendships that make the impossible possible.
Atta Festival collaborated with Israel's Safe Place Festival and Munich based artist Ceren Oran & Moving Borders to adapt “Elephant from an Egg" to perform for children with neurodiverse children. This is the first ever international collaboration in Turkey, specifically adapted for children and young people with autism spectrum.
